Whole 30 Whole30 Sesame Ginger Dressing
Bottled Asian-style dressings are almost always off the table during a Whole30 round — soy sauce, added sugars, and mystery preservatives tend to show up in the ingredient list without fail. This version swaps in coconut aminos for that savory, slightly sweet depth, so you get all the umami satisfaction without anything that breaks the rules. Tahini and toasted sesame oil give it a rich, lightly creamy body, while freshly grated ginger and garlic keep the flavor bright and bold rather than flat. A splash of rice vinegar ties everything together with just enough tang to make it genuinely craveable. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with a whisk — no blender, no fuss, and it makes eight servings, so you can batch it at the start of the week and drizzle it over salads, grain-free bowls, or roasted vegetables all week long. Store it in a jar in the fridge and give it a quick shake before serving, since it thickens as it chills.
